I have heel spurs and haven't worn any shoes other than Birkenstocks for years---they are not ugly! Knit yourself some wool socks and be prepared to have happy, cozy feet this winter. Did you get some clogs or enclosed shoes (London) too?

I love my birkies and there are so many different styles, they're really fun. I've even got some of the clogs with sheep on them. I also have foot issues with the balls of my feet. I can also wear keens and walk for miles in them. Have you tried those?

Oh, your pictures are beautiful!! Isn't it wonderful to walk in new places?

I don't think your shoes are ugly...they just have a lot of personality! LOL There is a company called Mephisto that also makes cork-bed shoes. I own a couple of their sandals. They have a higher arch, but are super comfortable. I've worn them for walks up to five miles. They are expensive, but I've had mine for over 10 years...and you can have the beds replaced through a mail-in program! Saves quite a bit if you keep your shoes for a long time.

Birks are NOT ugly ... comfort rules .. i have narrow feet so i had to get the throng version .. good in two respects - narrower and the inflamed/over stimulated nerve on the side of my foot would be even more hysterical if a strap touched it .. got a steroid shot last night, hopeful it will calm that sucker

My favorite source for weaving yarn.

About Me

I am an 'older' woman, who refuses to get old. I think I am really twelve, and my family will often agree. I have found my passion in weaving, and have left one career to begin another. What? I don't have all the time in the world???
